According to project Director Craven: while divers were undergoing week-long decompression, repeated attempts were made to sabotage their air supply by someone aboard the command barge. A guard was posted on the decompression chamber and the men were recovered safely. A unstable suspect was identified by the staff psychiatrist but the culprit was never prosecuted. Craven suggests this may have been done to spare the Navy bad press so soon after the USS Pueblo incident. The SEALAB program came to a halt.
